[Costanza_]

Smith and Labuschagne batting together.

Commentators: "...they are very calm, there is no fidgeting"

 

[Westend]

biggest knob in world cricket is on

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Where was I going to do that whilst I’m nervous on his keeping deserves a good chance one of the better players of spin.

Pakistan’s B grade spinners rolled Head

I'm tired of your crap. Seriously.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Was there another bat to choose from if they dropped both head and Warner?

You could argue Agar might come in with Renshaw opening. I wouldn’t have minded Head staying in over Warner though, but I do understand the reasoning for dropping him.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yes, agreed, but for whatever reason they won’t drop Warner, doesn’t make the Head decision wrong necessarily, just makes it inconsistent.

Renshaw to open

Green in next test

 

[SuperSteele22]

Watch out for this slimy little **** and his mankads

 

[MarcMaverick]

I'm tired of your crap. Seriously.

Already? I get it but its only the first day.

Love watching Ashwin bowl plus he loves a Mankad and that is awesome

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Renshaw to open

Green in next test

Don’t hate that, conditions dependent.

 

[PhatBoy]

Don’t really get some of the fields here. Seems a huge percentage of runs have come well behind square and an edge looks likely every few overs - I’d be stacking it

 

[smish]

Watching on mute as I half-heartedly attend an all staff meeting on my other screen, so missed what pearl of wisdoms we got from Hayden.

But which Hayden was speaking? The Man, the Cook, the Giving Back?

This is a very Mark Corrigan monologue

 

[Around the Wicket]

Don’t hate that, conditions dependent.

Warner has another dig yet as well.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Don’t hate that, conditions dependent.

Yeah 100% and Renshaw needs a score to do it

 

[Underarm]

His record is getting him picked, 25 hundreds.

1 century post covid.

 

[Tugga27]

Lol, a full ball nearly hits Smith in the helmet.

And there are still folks out there insisting it’s not a minefield.

One ball exploding in 20 overs is hardly what I'd call a minefield TBH.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Warner has another dig yet as well.

We will score 500 and win by an innings or am I a few beers down too many

 

[FRUMPY]

1 century post covid.

Long-term COVID symptoms?

Yeah, I reckon they’ll cop those runs for a chance of a wicket. A Few shots forward of square have nearly gone to hand.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Murali backed Ashwin to catch his 800 Test wickets few years back and said Lyon wasn't good enough to do it, Ashwin is now 36 and on 449, how long does Murali think Ashwin will play for LoL

 

[Costanza_]

This is a very Mark Corrigan monologue

The work ethic of George Costanza with the mortal cynicism of Mark Corrigan.

You can tell I slay with the ladies.

 

[danielnajdek]

Lucky there

 

[Rabish Binney]

Yes, as he’s better against spin right now he just is

Oh, ok then.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Geez Smith has had some luck early here.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Nice response Smudge.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Jadeja has such a punchable
